      It's been 96 days since the Trump administration was ordered to reunite the families whom they tore apart. In that time, we've been in court, searching for deported parents overseas, and negotiating a settlement agreement to restore the asylum claims of many families.pic.twitter.com/fESG6UkTHm

      By its own estimates, the Trump administration separated more than 2,600 children from their parents. As of the latest status report, 103 children are still in government custody waiting to get out.

      Last week, the administration notified us that it has failed to include 14 children in its original count. Given that the government started breaking up families with no plan for how they would be put back together, this update is not surprising.https://www.politico.com/story/2018/10/26/hhs-identify-separated-migrant-children-942313 …

      The DHS's own inspector general has acknowledged the Trump administration has struggled to provide accurate or reliable data on how many families were separated under this policy. More on the data breakdown here:https://www.aclu.org/issues/immigrants-rights/immigrants-rights-and-detention/family-separation …

          Some parents took months to locate and a few still must be reached. This is the consequence of deporting people, often to remote areas, without a plan to find them again. Others made the excruciating choice to remain apart so that their child can pursue asylum in the US.

          Many families are now together but are still dealing with the aftermath of separation — a trauma that can be long lasting. We can't forget their stories.https://www.aclu.org/blog/immigrants-rights/immigrants-rights-and-detention/my-son-traumatized-one-separated-familys …

          Ricardo was deported without knowing where his three-year-old daughter Luna was, or if he'd see her again. They were reunited after nine months apart.https://www.aclu.org/issues/immigrants-rights/immigrants-rights-and-detention/when-i-saw-her-i-felt-my-soul-ache …

          Imagine government agents taking your crying 18 month old child. You’re forced to watch a car drive away with him, and then spend months not knowing if or how he’s being cared for. Not even allowed to see a photo of him. This is what happened to Mirian: https://www.aclu.org/blog/immigrants-rights/ice-and-border-patrol-abuses/ice-separates-18-month-old-mother-months …

          Right now, the Trump administration is trying to expand its ability to jail immigrants families in prolonged detention by gutting existing protections. We have until 11/6 to speak out.https://www.aclu.org/SaveFlores
